SUNWsound-exchange audio/sound-exchange isn't "sox" the more commonly used name? http://sox.sourceforge.net/ SUNWfbc driver/graphics/fbc Frame Buffer Configuration Utility (SPARC) I'd call that "fbconfig" (the command name) - fbc is just the abbreviation to fit the original 9-char pkg name limit. SUNWerid driver/network/sun/erid Sun RIO 10/100 Mb Ethernet Drivers SUNWged driver/network/sun/ged Sun Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (SPARC) SUNWqfed driver/network/sun/qfed Sun Quad FastEtherent Adapter (SPARC) I'd drop the trailing "d" from the old package names so that they match the drivers they deliver - "eri", "ge", "qfe" SUNWhmd driver/network/sun/hmd SunSwift Adapter Drivers SUNWhmdu driver/network/sun/hmdu SunSwift Adapter Headers (SPARC) "hme" to match the driver name would be a better fit for the first. Shouldn't the second be merged into the first as part of the root/usr package merging? SUNWxscreensaver x11/screensaver XScreenSaver xscreensaver is the upstream package name & the command name, so I'd leave the 'x' in x11/xscreensaver. (Same for all the x11/screensaver/* packages.) > Please review the lists > in 6186 for package names and add your comments to that bug, or share > them here. SUNWrsgk driver/network/secure-rpc kernel RPCSEC_GSS That's not really a network driver is it? Wouldn't "system/network" be better since it's for a network protocol, not hardware? I don't see much distinction between what got put into the file/* vs. command/* packages - should the file/* just be merged into command/* ? (command/gnu-findutils vs. file/slocate doesn't make sense for instance.) SUNWgnome-ui-designer gnome2/command/ui-designer GNOME UI designer This would seem better as developer/gnome2/ui-designer BTW, with the release of GNOME 3.0 allegedly coming later this year, do we want "gnome2/" encoded in all the package names? SUNWslrn web/slrn slrn - S-Lang read news Usenet may be near dead, but it's not really "web" is it? SUNWpciaccess service/pciaccess PCI bus access library and tools This is libpciaccess & the scanpci command - there's no service here. Should probably be "system/library/pciaccess" SUNWxcompmgr system/X11/xcompmgr This is a user command so I'd just make it "x11/xcompmgr" instead of putting it under system. (If you do leave it under system, you need to fix the typo of capitalizing X, where all the others are system/x11/*) -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
